Cto Italien / Chromatic Fantasy - 70th Anniv Edt
$9.99
I have a lot of affection for the Italian Concerto; it was the first Bach I ever heard outside a church, as recorded by Wanda Landowska. The piece was intended for a two-manual harpsichord, as were the Goldberg Variations and the Chromatic Fantasy; these are the least suitable of Bach's keyboard works for transcription to piano, and therefore had not been part of the active repertoire until Landowska revived them. They are "large" pieces in conception, with dramatic contrasts of dynamics built in through the use of the keyboard registers. Gould, I fear, imposes his own agenda of dynamic contrast, and that is the chief weakness of his performance; it's no wonder he "didn't like" either piece, since he can't really make them work musically. And no wonder they have been reissued as an afterthought in the remastered complete Gould. For piano fans seeking a "pianistic" performance on harpsichord, I'd recommend the remastered Landowska or the 1988 recording of the Concerto Italien and Ouverture a la Francaise by Kenneth Gilbert

Slave Jade: Formerly Kidnapped - Revised and Expanded
$13.99
When I choose a BDSM book, I do it because I like to read abou this, and in some level it turns me on. This book does the opposit, since it plays with the idea that BDSM is not a "nice" thing, and mixes a fantasy for the reader with a cruel reality.
The girl is not there because she wants to be, and therefore there is real suffering in her mind, which is not what I look for in these stories. The guy is not the kind that makes you dream about, and the book marks more for scenes of true degradation and humiliation then for the sex scenes.
I don't like it to when the end of the story makes you feel morally "wrong" for being interested in BDSM, so this book is not one I will ever read again.
